In April of 2016, the process of three of my photos going into Jeff Beck's book, BECK01, began.

I actually got a few dollars for my photography and a signed copy of the book!!!

The book is something to see. I am sharing it with you all this week. It is put out by Genesis Publications in England and printed in Italy.

The publication is signed by Jeff and limited to 2,000 copies and I have number X which is very cool!

It comes in a box, of course. You open the box and find a pouch that contains another box that is beautiful! Open up that second box and you pull up a ribbon that pulls the book out.

The book probably weighs ten pounds and the pages are very thick.

Pages 170 and 171 have two of my photographs from the Riverside Theater on May 10, 1972. They say March 19, 1972 in England, but it's not! Page 242 has my photo (bottom right) of Jeff with Vinnie Colaiuta on drums at Turner Hall in 2009.

Very honored to be in this book! Half of it is about his love of cars. He works on some beautiful old cars as you can see here. Yes, he actually works on them from welding to engine repair and more.

Jeff's birthday is June 24, 1944 and that explains the DMV California sticker on the back cover from 1944. So this is Jeff Beck week here! Happy birthday buddy!!

Enjoy and have a great week. Time to pack up the camera gear for Indy cars at Road America next weekend!!

It finally feels like winter here in Wisconsin! Thursday it was 70F and Friday was warm in the morning but then it changed quickly. Saturday we woke up to snow flurries and a bit of snow on the ground.

For 2017's calendar I went with the birthdays of musicians to pick out each months photo like last year.

The cover is Frank Beard of Z Z Top and his amazing drum kit. Again David Bowie is our January pick because we have so many Bowie lovers, including myself!!

I think you will all love it for yourself or for a Christmas gift for someone!

They are $30.00 each and $6.00 for shipping. Again, they are printed by Shutterfly who prints on a heavy stock that makes the prints suitable for framing when the month is over. They really do an awesome job I think and everyone loves them based on the comments I received about the 2016 calendar.

If you have followed my blogs and photos, you know that I like what Jeff Beck can do on a guitar.

On May 10, 1972, The Jeff Beck Group played at the Riverside Theater. They opened for The Siegal-Schwall Band.

I have shown photos of Jeff Beck and his band before, but always knew that I had more pictures somewhere. I did.

I have been scanning the Siegal Schwall band lately and was surprised to find my lost Jeff Beck photos! It's only five shots, but they are pretty good. In fact, I think that they are better than the other ones.

Enjoy a look at The Jeff Beck Group and the lost images from 1972!

Next week, the blog will be about the Siegal Schwall Band from that show.

On May 22, 2015, I had the pleasure of seeing and photographing my favorite guitar player of all time, Jeff Beck! Buddy Guy, would be my number two guitar player.

Billy Raffoul, from Canada, was the opening act, and is seen here in my photos. He is young, and very good, and didn't deserve the heckling about his hair.

Jeff Beck seems to have a different band every time I see him. This band consisted of Rhonda Smith on bass, Nicholas Meir on guitar and keyboards, and Jonathan Joseph on drums. They were all excellent of course, just like every band Jeff puts together.

This week, I am having a sale on 16" X 20/16" X 24" prints. The limited edition, certified, gallery prints are $ 75.00 plus shipping!! Normally, we sell these prints for $150.00!

So, check out some good Jeff Beck photos, and pick out one or two for the walls of your home or office.
